I turn the page,
and there you are,
somehow new to me.

I love your words,
your grace, your poise,
your absence of chaos
and your gentle enticing,
away from the pain and
weary breakdown of
the closing of the day.

The light fades and you
slip from my desperate grip,
reminding me of balance,
when all I want
is a resting place where
nothing is what it seems,
and all our thoughts are dreams
